Stock Smart: Budget-Friendly Pantry Picks

Potatoes are my #2 all-time favorite food. That’s a good thing, because not only are they extremely nutrient-rich and count as a vegetable, they’re budget-friendly, too! Just cents per potato will get you fiber, vitamin C, potassium and numerous other vitamins and minerals. That’s why I keep them stocked in my pantry all the time.

I keep a lot of things stocked, so I can whip up fast, easy, flavorful and nutrient-rich breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. For myself. Or for me and my hubby Jeff. Or so Jeff can whip up something for me! Which he does frequently….even my #1 favorite food: Steak. An occasional treat for a huge Porterhouse, T-Bone or New York Strip Steak.

Here’s what you’ll find in my pantry, fridge and freezer nearly every day of the year!
